Grant of Bail - The High Court of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh granted interim relief to the petitioner, challenging his arrest and remand under PMLA charges, on the grounds that the investigation of the predicate offence was stayed by another High Court. The court underscored the importance of adhering to procedural safeguards and guidelines for arrest under PMLA. While addressing the maintainability and jurisdictional aspects, it differentiated the cause of action for invoking its jurisdiction from that before the High Court of Punjab and Haryana, thereby dismissing the respondent's preliminary objection.
